Do not yank the upper case off quickly. The case is attached to the logic board via a ribbon cable.

Lift up at the rear of the case and work your fingers along the sides, freeing the case as you go. Once you have freed the sides, you may need to rock the case up and down to free the front of the upper case. This stage can be quite tricky. Over the DVD reader are 4 tabs set back which pull out vertically.

Note that the two small tongues on the left hand front of the upper case may bend while you remove the upper case. When re-installing, you may need to bend them back to fit in the grooves in the lower case.

The next few steps will require you to separate the LCD from the adhesive applied to the upper and lower edges of the front bezel. A heat gun may be helpful to soften the adhesive to prevent damaging the LCD panel during removal.

The adhesive is applied such that it sticks to a thin steel strip around the perimeter of the LCD. When prying your LCD away from the front panel, be sure you are separating the front panel from the steel strip on the LCD.

Use the flat end of a spudger to gently lift one of the top corners of the LCD out of the front bezel.

Use a spudger to re-seat the trackpad/keyboard ribbon cable connector to its socket on the logic board.

This will wake the machine from sleep mode.

The MacBook Pro will now readjust itself to a resolution of 1920 x 1200!

The high definition resolution will be retained upon rebooting your MacBook Pro. However, if you reset your machine's PRAM/NVRAM, it will revert to standard definition, and you will need to redo the entire process!
